2010 Goodwood Revival RAC TT

Watch this. It is mandatory. Mr. Old Valves tells you to.

Where else can you see 5 to 20 million dollar cars racing as flat out as they can, when they’re only half a dozen of a particular car left on the planet, just for the sake of reviving the magic of the 60’s, when money didn’t matter?

I had never seen a Ferrari 250 GTO racing as hard as this. Only in the rare footage I find of the 60’s Targa Florio, here and there, obviously. There is a lot of will power in Goodwood Revival, and that’s just proper racing philosophy.

This makes me smile a lot. One more reason to love Nick Mason, actually.
